Title: ICO Advisors
Post by: PeterKh on October 28, 2017, 08:48:11 AM
Hi!

When going through white papers, I often see statements like "[ ]% of tokens/ICO proceeds goes to our advisors". But it's not clear how that overall amount is split between individual advisors.
When an ICO issuer reaches out to a potential advisor, what is the offer (granted the advisor likes the project) the issuer should make?

Thanks!

At the simplest level, the coins allocated to the advisor are split among them equally.
Some of them may ask for special treatment though (say: additional bonus coins on a better discount, a seat (or more) in 'whitelist' and so on).. which is upto the founders to entertain.

When looking into those whitepapers, also look for a clause for 'vesting period' for advisors (typically ranges from 6 months to 3 years), which tends to lock them with the startup for that period.
